Thanks - you've hit a certain nerve, but I'm thinking that now I've made the decision, I can actually get back to just being more 'human' again, rather than a 'professional'. That's how I was back in the day, early 2000s, time to get back to it and go out on a high!
Professor Stephen Ball (Institute of Education) is actually very interested in how teachers 'just teach' in the midst of a crazy system - that's me this year, just teaching, fuck the admin.
Good comment though, thanks for the input!
Well best of luck! Sounds like you are doing the right thing and you will be able power through this year and then move on with life next year. Just do your thing this year if you have no "admin consequences", maybe you can make a real impact on the kids lives not worrying about what the system wants you to do!
You got this!!
